The Judge:

Julia Dolan is the esteemed judge for the Art of Photography Show 2013. Dr. Dolan is the Curator of Photography at the Portland Art Museum. Dr. Dolan holds a B.F.A. in Photography from the Maryland Institute College of Art, an M.A. in Art History from the Pennsylvania State University, and a Ph.D. in Art History from Boston University. She has worked with photography collections at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Addison Gallery of American Art, and the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. Dr. Dolan’s responsibilities include researching and growing the permanent collection of the Portland Art Museum, including contemporary works.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of this competition and exhibition is that our judge is always a highly acclaimed museum curator. Most photographers feel that having their work exhibited in a museum is the ultimate goal. Yet, getting exposure to museum curators is normally very difficult. This project provides that opportunity.

Our goal is to provide as many tangible benefits as possible for the exhibiting artists. The cash awards, accolades, media coverage and sales revenue that we provide to the selected artists are substantial.

Marketing and Promotion:

Marketing and promotion for the Art of Photography Show is extensive, with national media coverage, cross-promotions, coverage on television and radio, as well as reaching thousands of fans and friends on social networks.

Invitations and numerous emails are sent to our list of 25,000 collectors, luxury consumers and art connoisseurs.

Tens of thousands of exhibition announcement cards about the Art of Photography Show are distributed to major cities across the US.

Nick has become an icon in commercial photography over his many years in the business and he will discuss marketing and style, how to get your work seen, and the different approaches he has used during his career to gain national work.

Inspired by his uncle Mike’s B&W photographs on the family kitchen table when he was 13, Nick was inspired to attend the University of Missouri and earn a degree in Photojournalism in 1976. He then quickly found his true passion in the world of commercial photography. Anyone can look through a viewfinder, but there’s nothing simple about Nick’s multi-disciplinary approach for bringing a concept to life:

Nick’s work garners top honors from the Addys, the Effies, Archive International, Communication Arts, N.A.M.A., the Top 200 Advertising Photographers, and the Canon Explorer of Light program. He attracts blue-chip clients like Apple, Bayer, Capital One, Coca-Cola, DuPont, IBM, Kodak, Microsoft, Sony, and Sprint. On a Vedros shoot, every details is obsessively controlled. There is no shortage of creative inspiration or top shelf resources. Challenges are anticipated and addressed proactively. Nick creates an atmosphere of confidence that frees clients to concentrate on creative direction. The music is great, the panoramic views spectacular, the hospitality genuine, and the cumor constant. With Nick, you’re not just going to a photoshoot. Your having an entire creative experience. The Vedros Experience.

This course is part of the Associates Degree in Photography & Digital Imaging.
Think of this as the final course in your associates degree to help you prepare your portfolio to start a career or transfer to a four year school with a photography or digital imaging program.

The class is perfect for artists, photographers and graphic designers. Students learn the basics on how to construct websites using Dreamweaver CS6 and then move into intermediate web design using Javascripting and CSS3.
I also cover purchasing domains, server space, and marketing a website.

Students will learn how to construct an artist portfolio, so this is a really good class for anyone interested in doing that.
Last semester, a few of my students within weeks of completing the semester obtained freelance web design jobs that they were able to take on as a result of taking this class.

As you may know, we are hosting the Southern California Portfolio Day here at Art Center on Sunday, January 20th.

On Portfolio Day, we will have representatives here from 36 art and design colleges, all accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). They will be here to give advice on their own portfolio requirements along with their admissions processes. The goal of the day is to provide input on students’ work, so students should bring some portfolio work to the event.
